Already, the Trump administration score on TPS is 4 to 2. It will phase out TPS for Salvadorans (https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/temporary-protected-status/temporary-protected-status-designated-country-el-salvador), Haitians (http://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/haiti/article196513449.html), Nicaraguans (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-immigration-protections/u-s-to-end-protected-status-for-nicaraguan-immigrants-in-2019-idUSKBN1D704X) and Sudanese (https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/temporary-protected-status/temporary-protected-status-designated-country-sudan), a group of more than 260,000.
But in January, the government extended TPS for refugees from Syria (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jan/31/syria-tps-extended-trump-administration), where a brutal war had killed about 400,000 and made refugees of about 5.6 million. The decision allows about 6,000 Syrians (https://www.dhs.gov/news/2018/01/31/secretary-homeland-security-kirstjen-m-nielsen-announcement-temporary-protected)to remain in the U.S. It also extended TPS for a smaller group of South Sudanese (https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/temporary-protected-status/temporary-protected-status-designated-country-south-sudan), numbering about 100.

Still remaining are decisions on Honduras and three other countries: Nepal, Somalia and Yemen. A decision on about 9,000 Nepalese TPS holders, who live mostly in New York, is expected by April 25.

Honduras — President Juan Orlando Hernandez’s government expressed regret over a U.S. move Friday to end temporary protected status, or TPS, for tens of thousands of Hondurans who have resided in the United States for nearly two decades. The foreign relations ministry said in a statement that it is a sovereign matter for Washington to decide, but added that “we deeply lament it.”
It said returnees “are and always will be welcome in their homeland, where they will be received with open arms,” and “their reintegration into our society will be facilitated.”
The Trump administration announced earlier in the day that it was ending TPS for the 57,000 Hondurans covered under the program. They now have until Jan. 5, 2020, to sort out their affairs before returning home — or try to normalize their migratory status in other ways, such as through marriage or sponsorship.

Imagine it, 57000 good hard working people returning to their home country to rebuild, stop the violence and political corruption. Wow you could make a movie about it, win an Oscar.
